Instead of putting up tickets and letting the fastest purchase them within minutes, Apple now uses a lottery system to sell tickets to its World Wide Developers Conference.

The 2015 lottery for a chance to get a WWDC ticket ended at 10AM PST on Friday, and over the weekend, Apple began notifying developers who signed up for a chance to attend the five-day, twenty-sixth in a row WWDC if they get a ticket or not.

Developers who were lucky enough to win received an email from Apple, with a credit charged to their account. As you can see in the screenshot above, the $1,599 ticket shines with glee and makes us who weren’t picked a tad jealous.

The conference kicks off on Monday, June 8, 2015 and lasts through Friday, June 12.

If you weren’t lucky enough to get the chance to purchase a WWDC ticket, Apple says some sessions throughout the event will be live streamed, and most will be available to watch on-demand following the event. Suddenly that $1,599 feels a little better in my pocket.

Since it’s a developer event, Apple will hold events just for those who make apps:

more than 100 technical sessions presented by Apple engineers on a wide range of topics for developing, deploying and integrating the latest iOS and OS X technologies;

over 1,000 Apple engineers supporting more than 100 hands-on labs and events to provide developers with code-level assistance, insight into optimal development techniques and guidance on how they can make the most of iOS and OS X technologies in their apps;

access to the latest innovations, features and capabilities of iOS and OS X, and best practices for enhancing an app’s functionality, performance, quality and design;

the opportunity to connect with thousands of fellow iOS and OS X developers from around the world—last year more than 60 countries were represented;

a series of get togethers for attendees focused on particular topics with special guest speakers and activities;

engaging and inspirational lunchtime sessions with leading minds and influencers from the worlds of technology, science and entertainment; and
